"I will never make an apology to any offended Dallas fans, and I expect every Redskin fan to cheer at the folly of a Cowboy," he wrote on his blog, "The Cooley Zone," calling his comments "rivalry igniting." - Cooley

The rivalry has been so dormant between the two teams -- not the fans -- for so long that people aren't used to anyone in either uniform caring enough to ignite it.

There was a time when such comments were standard operating procedure between the Redskins and Cowboys -- and sometimes those comments would result in bizarre on-field incidents.

Speaking of the bye week, how are you guys spending the day tomorrow? It's gonna be gorgeous here in the DC area. I'm gonna go for a run with the wife and probably hit the gym afterwards. My little brother is in town and it's his birthday, so I'm gonna take him out to dinner. Probably won't watch much football until the GB-Atl game at night.
